Effective Rate

The United States imports substantial quantities of edible fruits and nuts from China, with approximately $575B in total bilateral trade.

Following the Supreme Court's landmark February 20, 2026 decision striking down IEEPA tariffs, imports of edible fruits and nuts from China are now subject to a 10% base tariff under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate (in effect February 24 – July 24, 2026).

This 10% base surcharge is the Section 301 forced-labor tariff that replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate when Section 122's 150-day authority expired on July 24, 2026. The final action covers roughly 60 economies under a two-tier 10%/12.5% structure — broader than the earlier 46-country proposal.

Edible Fruits and Nuts from China are also subject to Section 301 tariffs, which range from 25% to 100% depending on the specific product classification. Section 301 tariffs were not affected by the Supreme Court ruling and remain in full effect. Combined with the 10% forced-labor base rate, importers may face effective rates of about 35% or more.

Key products in HTS Chapter 8 imported from China include Bananas, Citrus fruits, Grapes, Apples, Avocados, and Almonds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current tariff rate on edible fruits and nuts from China?

As of mid-2026, edible fruits and nuts from China face a base tariff of 10% under the Section 301 forced-labor tariff, which replaced the flat 10% Section 122 rate on July 24, 2026. Section 301 tariffs of 25-100% also apply to covered Chinese goods. The effective rate is about 35% on the most-affected products.

Will the tariff on edible fruits and nuts from China change?

The flat 10% Section 122 tariff expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced the same day by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff; China's current 10% base surcharge is that two-tier (10%/12.5%) rate, covering roughly 60 economies. Existing Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods have no set expiration. In August 2026, 25 states sued to block the forced-labor tariff, but CBP continues collecting it while the case proceeds.

How did the Supreme Court ruling affect edible fruits and nuts imports from China?

The Supreme Court's February 20, 2026 ruling struck down IEEPA reciprocal tariffs as exceeding presidential authority. The president signed a replacement flat 10% tariff under Section 122 the same day, effective February 24; that rate expired July 24, 2026 and was replaced by the Section 301 forced-labor tariff (now 10% for China).
